"Revival of Tanning Bed Trend Among Gen Z Sparks Beauty Debate"

Despite the well-documented health risks, Gen Z is reviving the tanning bed trend, prioritizing a sun-kissed look over long-term health. Influenced by Y2K trends and social media, many are flocking to tanning beds, with some even associating tanning with beauty and health. However, experts warn that tanning, whether from beds or the sun, accelerates aging and increases the risk of skin cancer. While there are safer alternatives like self-tanning products, the pressure to conform to beauty standards continues to drive the resurgence of tanning, raising concerns about prioritizing aesthetics over wellbeing.
